 texts (AV. ÇB. MS.) have, , , , etc. AB. has the redundant combination.

b. The quasi-suffix, from a case-form of day, is in a similar manner added to various determining words, generally made to end in : e. g.  another day,  (AV. -) on either day,  the day before.

1106. By the suffix are made, especially from numeral or quantitative stems, many adverbs of quantity or measure or manner, generally used distributively.

a. Examples are: one by one,  by hundreds,  season by season,  foot by foot,  syllable by syllable,  in crowds,  by bunches,  limb by limb,  in such and such number or quantity: and, in a more general way,  wholly,  principally,  stingily,  as minded.

Some twenty-five examples are quotable from the later literature; but none from the earlier, which also appears to contain nothing that casts light upon the origin of the formation. The of  is not liable to conversion into. The connection with the verb is not so close as to require the use of the gerund in instead of that in  (990); and other words are sometimes interposed between the adverb and verb.

a. Examples are: (MBh.) reduces all deeds to ashes;  (MBh.) this world would become a prey to barbarians;  (MBh.) whose whole property was given to Brahmans;  (Har.) it is inevitably reduced to ashes;  (Y.) having taken the fires to one's self.
